8 Best Diets
There are all sorts of diet plans out there. This is good because different people can respond differently to a weight loss program. Variety is necessary! There are currently eight popular diets that have worked effectively for many people, providing more options for dieting:
The Atkins Diet focuses on controlling the levels of insulin in the body through the food consumed. It is based on the consumption of more proteins to reduce the levels of insulin in the bloodstream. This high protein diet leads to weight loss in many people.
The Zone Diet creates a nutritional balance to achieve weight loss. The balance is 40% carbohydrates, 30% fats, and 30% protein. Like Atkins, the goal is to keep insulin down in order to effect weight loss. On The Zone, you will be eating whole grains and fats including nuts, olive oil, and avocado.
The Vegetarian Diet concentrates on eating non-animal foods - with the exception of eggs, honey, and dairy products. Vegetarians have a lower body weight; suffer from less diseases, and longer life spans, according to current studies. Since the meat products have been removed from the diet, vegetarians consume less fat according to the studies.
The Vegan Diet is actually more a way of life since the concept of the diet is based more on environmental and ethical reasons versus health related issues. The Vegan diet does not allow consumption of any animal-based products including eggs, honey, dairy, and of course meat.
The Weight Watchers Diet espouses a combined program of diet and exercise. Weight loss goals are achieved with the help of a support network or group. Dieters have regular group meetings or have access to online-support groups. Weight Watchers reduces the amount of foods consumed while increasing the levels of exercise.
The South Beach Diet focuses on the levels of insulin and refined carbohydrates in the diet. The foods consumed are low in fat as a method of controlling the insulin, which leads to weight loss and better health.
The Raw Food Diet involves eating food and drinks that are not processed but are only in their original form. Foods must be organic. There are four types of raw food dieters - raw vegetarians, raw vegans, raw omnivores, and raw carnivores. The belief of consuming the food in raw form is that the food does not have additives or extras that will cause health related issues including weight gain.
The Mediterranean Diet is a diet from Southern Europe that focuses on the eating habits of citizens of Crete, Greece, and southern Italy. The concentration is on a lot of plant foods, fresh fruits as dessert, beans, nuts, cereals, seeds, olive oil for the main source of dietary fats, cheese and yogurts for the main dairy foods, moderate levels of fish, consuming less than four eggs a week, limited amounts of the red meat, and limited amounts of wine. The Mediterranean Diet consists of fat with the saturated fat less than 8% of the caloric intake.
There are pros and cons for each type of diet depending on your body type, your current state of health... and of course, your lifestyle. Do a little more research and you will see which of these Top 8 Diets will work for you. - 17269
